Country Home with Private Swimming Pond and Beautiful Mountain Views

Welcome to Fox Ridge, a four season vacation rental in Margaretville, NY. Located on top of the mountain at 2100 feet overlooking the valley with spectacular views of the private pond and the Catskill Forest Preserve on 9 very private acres. Only 2½ hours from New York City, Fox Ridge is an inviting escape for you, your family, and friends.

Come and enjoy our spacious, beautifully furnished contemporary home. Take in the sweeping views of the mountains and large swimming pond from the newly expanded deck or from inside the glass enclosed great room with soaring ceiling and stone fireplace. Enjoy the warmth of a roaring fire on a snowy winter night or on a cool summer evening. Come in the fall and take in the brilliant color display across the valley or rejuvenate in the spring with new life around you.

Eat in, cook on the grill, or try one of the many excellent area restaurants. Spend an evening at home playing pool or watching a movie on one of the flat screen TVs. Relax in the hot tub under the stars or roast marshmallows on the fire pit. Swim or kayak in the pond, dive in from the dock or go hiking on one of the easily accessible trails. Finish up the day in our new outdoor shower.

Try your hand at flyfishing on a clean mountain stream or golf at one of the nearby courses. Belleayre Mountain offers excellent skiing for the entire family in the winter and outdoor concerts in the summer. All of these activities and more are within minutes of the house.

The 3 level house has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The bedrooms are furnished with extra comfy beds and fine linens. There are two bedrooms with queen beds and one with twins, comfortably accommodating 6 people. Come with your family and friends or enjoy a romantic getaway for 2.

Beautiful house in the Catskills

The house had the best views - great Mountain views plus a pond. House was roomy and had everything we needed. Great hot tub and was close to several ski resorts. Lots of games and a pool table. Very easy check-in process and the hosts were extremely responsive and helpful with any requests.

Great place for skiing at Belleayre

The house was perfect for our long weekend skiing at Belleayre. It is on a beautiful property with a great view and private pond. It is also close to the town. Very well maintained; the kitchen had everything we needed, and we enjoyed using the fireplace and pool table.

Cant wait to come back!

2 adults and 2 dogs couldn't have a better vacation. Lounging by the fire, catching some sun on the deck, taking a dip in the pond, and most of all enjoying the privacy and peace and quiet. A welcome break from the hustle of daily life. Staying at fox ridge is one of the best decisions we've made all year.

Great Spot!

We have stayed here a few times during the winter to ski at Belleayre. It's an easy drive to the mountain. The house is cozy, and the beds are warm and wonderful. I always sleep well here. The host and I communicated easily and quickly. Love the pool table in the lower floor, too!

Lovely stay in the Catskills

Such a lovely escape to Fox Ridge. We enjoyed the peaceful mornings waking up to the misty mountains and pond and the evenings in the hot tub listening to the sounds of bullfrogs and crickets. Hosts were very helpful with communication and recommendations. This was our first VRBO and it went seamlessly. We hope to come back - many thanks!

Anniversary Vacation

Stayed with my wife and dog for 8 nights. The property with the pond is amazing. Our dog never had so much fun. The deck, hot tub, and grill were all top notch. So were the beds. Very comfortable. Had a blast. Don't hesitate to book.

Beautiful

The view from the porch should be a picture on your wall. Being able to see it in person, with the sounds of nature around you, was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway. The house was nice, clean and comfortable, though we spent most of our times outdoors. We would definitely be willing to come back again

Relaxing Retreat

We could not have chosen a better place to stay for our multi-generational family gathering this past weekend! The mountain and valley views were spectacular- even with a bit of rain. The home had everything we needed and more, and the host's communication was outstanding. We were all extremely comfortable and only wished for more time when it was time to go. Thank you so much Neil and Erin!

Amazing :)

We had a great stay with our preschooler and baby. The views from the deck were stunning and our preschooler loved swimming in the pond. The house was very well equipped and comfortable and we were surprised there were virtually no mosquitoes. Great proximity to grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Amazing Family Vacation

My family of six just returned from a wonderful long weekend at Fox Ridge. The home and grounds are exactly as listed and probably exceeded our expectations. Our group ranged in age from 27-64, and unanimously voted it as one of our best family vacations ever. Highlights include our dog jumping joyously into the pond for a swim, kayaking, s’mores around the fire pit and morning coffee in the deck. We hope to all return next summer!

Wonderful retreat

House was very nice, just like the photos. Our whole family loved jumping in the pond and swimming! The hot tub worked perfectly and was enjoyed by all! Margretville was a small version of Woodstock with gift shops, art,thrift store and places to eat. House was a little far from popular hikes and attractions, about an hour drive. Other than that it was a perfect vacation.
